In hindsight? Why did this viewer like the series?
 
The dialog.

Reacher: An assignment? I thought I was not... by employment, appearance, or lifestyle choice... a cop anymore.

Finlay: Well, shows you how desperate I am. So be smart, don't break the law, and promise me you won't end up in another holding cell.

Reacher [deadpan]: No. (turns and walks away)

REACHER Season 2 - Official Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC-rRhQcnlI

I would have preferred they keep the stories smaller scale, but I am sure it will be entertaining.   I really like that actor as Reacher.

Yeah, IMO, this is one of the 1 out of 100 Amazon Originals that they get pretty right. I liked last season, and am looking forward to this season.

Season 2 is supposedly based on book 11, Bad Luck and Trouble. It's been many years since I read it, but I recall enjoying it.

I wasn't hyped on Alan Ritchson based on the initial Season 1 trailers. Those doubts faded once I started watching. I think he's perfectly cast.

It'll be interesting if they've found a supporting cast as good as Willa Fitzgerald and Malcom Goodwin. The three had good chemistry.

Okayfine - I don't care how badass you are, and how wimpy the guy with it is... That many hits with a crowbar has got to do some major damage.

Hit him enough to knock him out and be bleeding profusely,  yet be unbruised when showering a few minutes later?

He ain't got time to bruise.

My wife and I had been thinking about dropping Prime since the price keeps going up and delivery to our place is still at pandemic crawl. We moved the MIL to the small city my wife works in last Christmas and have been using her address, 20 miles away, for delivery and it gets there like two days sooner and she even gets weekend deliveries. So, we kept it.

We have been waiting for this to come back.

I was thinking of dropping prime simply because I don't order Amazon stuff near as often as I used to so the shipping savings may not add up (not to mention their attempt at Lord of the Rings).  I need to check my watchlist first.  There are probably items I never finished.
